The stretching means (11) are actuated by a hydraulic ram (76) or ratchet jack (15, 16) to engage the mounting structure (51) and thereby apply force to stretch a carpet via a gripping head assembly (12) which engages the carpet. The stretched carpet is held in its stretched condition by positioning carpet holding means (111) to engage the mounting structure (61) and grip the carpet by a gripping head assembly (113).
